Texas Duck Hunting Question-Richland Creek WMA (2009-2010 season)?

I hunt near Lake Conroe Conroe, TX all the time, and it looks like the hunter population the bird population increases and decreases (Season seasonal). Its pretty disappointing. Im looking to extend my hunting area to the east and northeast. I read an article about a number of public hunting land near Athens, TX called Richland Richland Creek WMA near-Chambers Reservoir. I was wondering if anyone has hunted in or around this area and if so, what can you tell me about it? How are the bird songs? Any advice? Also has anyone recomendations for other places to hunt in the east to northeast Texas? Thanks a lot!

Richland Creek Wildlife Management Area is located in an ecotone separating the Post Oak Savannah and Black Land Prairie ecological regions and the area is almost entirely within the Trinity River Flood plane. The area is subject to periodic and prolonged flooding. Average annual rainfall is 40 inches. Soils consist mainly of Trinity Kaufman and clay. These bottomland soils are highly productive and support a wide range of bottomland and wetland-dependent wildlife and vegetation communities. Vast bottomland hardwood forest communities characterized by cedar elm, sugar berry and green ash dominate field. Honey locust, boxelder, willow and black are also common. Bags of bur oak, oak shumard, overcup oak, water oak, willow oak and native pecan also occur. The understory is dominated by hawthorn, cat briar, Poison Ivy, and rattan with shade tolerant grasses and herbage consisting FORB low. Large non-forested areas occur and is characterized by diverse herbaceous communities. The vast bottomland hardwood forests serve as nesting and brood rearing habitat for many species of neotropical birds. The area has many marshes and slough, which provide habitat for migratory and wintering waterfowl, wading birds and shore birds, and various aquatic life. Note: Bring your own drinking water. Toilets available. Floods may occur during heavy rains, so be prepared to move to higher ground. ATV's, only during special permit hunts. Each license holder can have a dog while hunting waterfowl, squirrels and rabbits. Companion dogs must be leashed or confined within designated campsites.
